decorate them the next day because i decorated my cake the before once and it looks weird the next day so my advice is do it next day so it looks fresh
You could bake them now, and decorate later. Use a fondant type of frosting. Put a slice of bread in the storage container to keep them fresh (plain, not rye, pumpernickel, or any other flavoured bread.
Awesome question! you should put the icing on the next day right before the party! due to the fact that they will get all moist and wont look good the next day! hope this helps!
Bake. Cool. Decorate the same day. I do this every year. you want to give the frosting time to set. I make many fancy cookies every year and have cookie decorating parties. I collect cookie cutters…..have hundreds of them.
this is a good icing that is like a hard, shiny glaze and can be colored.
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
assorted food coloring
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to each to desired intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush.

You could always use royal icing, a hard icing you can pipe from a decorator’s bag to create more fancy designs if you like (this is used on gingerbread houses, for example)
INGREDIENTS
4 egg whites
4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
DIRECTIONS
Beat egg whites in clean, large bowl with mixer at high speed until foamy (use only grade A clean, uncracked eggs). Gradually add sugar and lemon extract. Beat at high speed until thickened. NOTE: When dry, Royal Icing is very hard and resistant to damage that can occur during shipping/handling.
have fun!
ROYAL ICING
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
4 tsp. meringue powder
¼ tsp. cream of tartar
¼ cup warm water
1 to 2 tablespoons additional warm water
Paste food coloring
In small bowl, combine sugar, meringue powder & cream of tartar. Stir in warm water. Beat on low speed until combined, then on high speed for 7 to 10 minutes until very stiff. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons additional warm water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until of glazing consistency. To tint, divide the glaze into small portions. Add enough paste food coloring to each portion to make desired color. Pipe onto cookies.
